As I mentioned before, my best friend since I was 15, Amy, is getting married in May. And I guess I was having an all-about-me moment or two because while I’ve selfishly been focusing on finding myself a bridesmaid hairstyle for the occasion, it only just occurred to me last week to ask her if she needed any suggestions for her big day. (Sorry, Ames!) But now I am on a mission to fulfill her wish to find a makeup look that’s soft, subtle and, as she specifically requested, barely there. Take a look! read more

I admit, I don’t have a signature pose. And considering the albums full of one eye-shut, tongue stuck out, gummy-smiled photos of myself that I have assembled over the years, maybe it’s high time for me to develop one. After all, celebrities are famous for recycling their favorite go-to poses. read more

And here I was thinking that the tiny braids involved in my Lauren Conrad-knockoff updo were intricate. Serena (otherwise known as Blake Lively) took the concept to a whole other level on last night's Gossip Girl, sporting a hair bow woven entirely of her own tiny braids. It figures that my former haircrush would be the one to show me up. read more

Last night's Women Of The Year event was so inspiring--my favorite moments included Condoleezza Rice acting starstruck about getting to meet Tyra Banks, and American Idol star David Cook showing up to do a surprise serenade for his superfan, Hillary Clinton. When you have free time today, definitely take a few minutes to read more about the amazing women who were honored. In the meantime, I do, of course, have the photographic evidence of the Lauren Conrad updo you chose for me. Did I pull it off? You tell me. read more

For her appearance on Letterman last night (man, he gave her a rough time), Lauren Conrad was looking so gorge. Yeah, yeah--I know I'm biased toward liking the girl, since she came across so sweet when I met her last summer. And I know some of you will kill me for saying so, but with her superlong hair and sexy black liner, she's got a modern-day Brigitte Bardot thing going on lately. read more

Amidst all of the overtreated denim and over-Botoxed stars at L.A. fashion week, one of the bright spots I've truly been looking forward to is the Lauren Conrad Collection. It just hit the runway yesterday, and I have to say, she might be a real designer. She even drew a few celebrities in her row (albeit in the form of co-stars Lo Bosworth and Brody Jenner). Check out the new looks and then weigh in on them, after the jump. read more

Okay, so my obsession with The Hills is reaching a potentially unhealthy apex, even though this season has offered about as much excitement as a competition to see who can watch water boil fastest. Those girls just have a hold on me--and now, all four of them are going to have a hold on our wardrobes. Find out more, after the jump. read more

I’m about to introduce you to one of the most ingenious things ever invented: The adhesive cell-phone mirror. You just pop it on the back of your phone and you’ve suddenly got a mirror on hand at all times for do-I-have-something-in-my-teeth spot checks. I love that each time I whip mine out, I feel like The Hills star Lauren Conrad in that AT&T commercial for the LG Shine phone (you know, the one where she busts Brody Jenner for using the reflective surface to check out two girls)—um, except I have a much-less-fancy cell. And it’s a sure-fire crowd pleaser. In fact, read more

Along with amazing dresses and pretty makeup, there was some gorgeous hair at the Emmy Awards last night. It was hard to narrow down the looks, but I managed to pick my top three hairstyles of the evening. What were they? read more

Attention, The Hills obsessives (um, everyone I know!?)...I just came from Nanette Lepore's show where I was seated directly behind Lauren Conrad and Lauren "Lo" Bosworth. I managed to snap a quick pic and ask LC her favorite part about fashion week. Find out what it is after the jump. read more

Sometimes an up-do can be too frou-frou for my taste, which is why I love to see a more low-key version of the style. Of all the hairstyles at last night's Video Music Awards, Lauren Conrad's romantic mass of pinned-up curls was my favorite. Just like her love life, there's a lot of confusing things going on. From where I sit, it looks like are locks criss-crossing, soft loops wrapped around her bun and plenty of loose tendrils. But then, just like a heavily edited episode of The Hills, it somehow comes together seamlessly in the end. read more

After a long and lovely weekend on the beach, the only thing that made me eager to get back to New York City was The Hills. Last night, my boyfriend and I settled in on the couch at 10pm (yes, ladies, I’ve converted a grown man’s television habits into those of a 12-year old girl, and I’m pretty proud of it) and right there was Lauren Conrad holding one of my favorite handbags of all time. read more

Who's afraid of the trendy skinny dress? Put your fashion fears aside and get ready to test-drive the season's slim-fitting frocks. With these simple tricks, scoring a flattering date look is painless. As for what to do if he gets tongue-tied at dinner, well, that's another story.... read more

I'm liking Lauren's brownish-blond haircolor, and this is a great example of wisps done right. Apparently, there's one thing arch-frenemies Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag actually agree on: Messy, wispy chignons. Both showed up to The Hills premiere party wearing the look. Whose version do you like better? read more
